Questions

FAQ answers for residents, search engines, and answer engines

Can the public listen to police scanners?

The public can listen to many public radio and dispatch sources, but access varies by agency, encryption, platform rules, and state law. Signal RVA publishes public context and official or allowed listen links instead of private playback URLs.

Can I listen to a police scanner on my phone?

Yes, many people use mobile websites or scanner apps for allowed public feeds. Signal RVA is browser-first, so Richmond-area residents can open the live tracker on a phone without installing an app.

Is it illegal to listen to police radio in the US?

Scanner rules vary by state and situation, and this is not legal advice. In general, do not use scanner information to interfere with emergency response, commit a crime, avoid law enforcement, or republish restricted audio.
